Description:

From School Library Journal

Grade 6–9—Emily thinks her ability to see the future should be great, but her visions never seem to make sense. Then students from her "gifted" class begin vanishing and she is determined to learn to use her talent and save her friends. Teen issues including fitting in, dealing with low self-esteem, and bullying are subtly woven into the fast-moving plot. Emily and her classmates are realistically drawn characters. Kaye pays special attention to hard-edged Jenna (a mind reader) and soft-spoken Tracey (who can become invisible) as they are Emily's two closest friends. As the girls struggle to deal with their special gifts and navigate the rough waters of middle school, they build an intense bond that will ring true with the intended audience. Even minor characters are given depth through Kaye's descriptive text. With both teen angst and tightly woven supernatural suspense, the book will have readers clamoring for the next volume.—_Shari Fesko, Southfield Public Library, MI_ END

From Booklist

Emily’s visions of the future are often confusing and hazy, so when she “sees” that fellow eighth-grader Carter is missing, she doesn’t know whether to trust her second sight. But when other students from the gifted class begin disappearing, Emily knows she is the one who can save them. Kaye’s third entry in the Gifted series is more of the same, so fans will enjoy it, but plot and character predictability weaken the ever-popular paranormal angle. Readers discovering the series through this book won’t be lost without reading the others first, but here’s hoping there are some surprises in the next installment. Grades 5-8. --Cindy Welch
